That was funny and the therapist had to explain to them that he was moving just not to San Fran. They were nervous lol
White, Keenan, and Claypool are all solid bassists. Infact, Les Claypool is downright phenomenal but I could see why Metallica wouldn't want him because his style was so night and day to Metallica. Just take Primus for example.
Rob Trujillo is just really talented. The band even said they couldn't believe how fast his fingers moved and how effortless it was for him to play Metallica's material. Interesting enough he came to Metallica from Ozzy and Newsted went to play for Ozzy. I've never seen Ozzy and Newsted jamming and I never heard much about it so for years I always thought it was an urban legend type thing like, since it would be ironic for Newsted to go to Ozzy, let's just say he did. Turns out it was true.

He also had a shitload of effects on his voice in the earlier days and started singing a little more raw later on

Turns out it was true. Rob Trujillo was the right choice for the band but all the people he beat out is amazing. I mean anyone thats heard any Primus song knows how good Les Claypool is. Pepper Keenan is in some solid bands like Corrosion of Conformity and Down. Jerodie White went from Marilyn Manson too A Perfect Circle to Nine Inch Nails, all very demanding bands.

Corrosion of Conformity was a kick ass band. I never owned any of their albums but I always got into everything they released on the radio and other songs I've heard through friends that had one of their albums.
Primus is a WEIRD band. I have their disc "Brown Album". It was one of their later releases. Truthfully, I couldn't get into them. They were almost too weird. I love originality but Primus music just doesn't make any sense. I actually bought the album to pick up bass tips from Les Claypool because I've never heard anyone play bass like him to make it stand out as the lead instrument in the band. He's definitely on a level of his own
Perfect Circle is great. Maynard has some sweet melodies on the first album and I love their overall sound production.

COC is awesome. I loved the album they put out in 06. They knew how to evolve and still sound fresh.
Primus is my personal Pink Floyd. I have a huge case of ADD and Primus and ADD go together like peas and carrots.
APC is pretty sweet. I saw them live and Maynard made so many Micheal Jackson jokes I won't ever forget that show.

Primus and ADD actually do go together. I can't argue that
I saw Tool about 6 years ago after they released Lateralis and Maynard didn't say a word to the crowd. He just stood in this corner all night and sang while naked dudes were hanging from the rafters. It was pretty strange. But the music sounded great. Live they sound exactly like the recording to the point where your looking for a little boombox playing the cd through a microphone. But seriously they were really fuckin tight.

Maynard likes to hide in corners and shit up to the 10,000 days album was released. Hes been talking a lot since then. But with APC you couldn't get him to shut up. It was like Maynard's twin or something.

Maynard has to be schitzoprhrenic. You never know which Maynard you're going to get

I think Tool just put out like 9 minute songs with five minute solos and he just likes to lounge out. But with APC he had a lot more vocal time. But no matter what your going to get a crazy outift from him.

I think when I saw them he was dressed like a giant condom, or at least that's what it looked like. He might have been wearing white pants and no shirt. The lighting made it hard to tell

I just got the Death Magnetic!
I give it an A. Everything sounds great with the mix. The timing is awesome and the changes are insane! They change the progression so much! I think this one will be in my player for a while.
I still need to wrap my brain around all of it. ;D

All I've read about is people complaining about the tiniest noise things. I just needed a real Metallica fan to let me know it was a good album. Out of curiosity, how is Unforgiven III?

it's not bad. But to be honest with you it was one of the songs that kind of lost my attention. They also went about it differently. They didn't have that horn in the beginning. It was more like a keyboard effect
